So is "living in a prison" a dog whistle for "racist" or not? I guess since The Wookie said it, it's not.

Sure it is, but the people who put her there are the racists. No, wait, they voted for her husband, so they can't be racists. The people who voted against him are the racists, because they didn't want to put her into a prison. No, wait, that doesn't make sense either. Uh, okay, I've got it. The people who object to her calling it a prison are the racists, because it's a White House, and therefore must be racist. No, wait, that's just silly. Let me think... Okay, I've got it, anyone who isn't an Obama supporter is racist because... well, they just are and you have to take our word for it, and if you don't, then you're a racist.

You did see the entire interview, right? You're not just commenting on a snippet that blogs picked up.... right? Both first ladies were responding to a quote from Martha Washington, saying she felt like a "State prisoner" during George Washington's presidency.

I would never have thought to compare Michelle to Martha, the only thing they have in common is that they are both first ladies, Michelle has much more in common with a lady walrus, diet, grace, facial expression, mannerisms, etc....

The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.

Actually, only Martha was a lady, so the only thing that they really have in common is that they're both carbon based life forms.
